What makes human consciousness unique? John Parrington draws on early Russian ideas and the latest neuroscience to argue that humans went through a 'mind shift' when we developed language, and words and the shared cultural world they enabled altered our brains, and have shaped them ever since.

Genetic engineering allows the production of the human insulin protein for diabetics, the modification of crops, and the building of synthetic life forms. In the future we could even remove genetic diseases from the germ line. In this book, John Parrington explains the rise of this new, sophisticated science.

Mapping the human genome proved to be just the beginning in understanding our genes, what makes us human, and how we can use the knowledge to cure inherited diseases. John Parrington describes an emerging picture of our genome, in 3D, with many non-gene players and environmental influences, that is far more complex and subtle than we ever imagined.
